I couldn't care all that much for time of possession, as long as we are scoring touchdowns.  Our defense will handle the rest.  I feel like if we had scored on that one pass DA delivered Olsen to go up 24-0, we would have iced the game right there.  Once Cam comes back, we should be able to put up an average of 28 points or more.

Always remember, Derek Anderson is a good qb. Smart, accurate and progresses through reads very well. We already knew that. Lets hope everyone else does now.

Last year I thought shula would struggle, he didn't. Yep I still have questions, but shula keeps answering them.

He's my bell/dlo/stew, where I biatch about without knowing what I'm talking about. But I learn last year, so far shula is doing a great job of controlling the game and scoring. What else can you ask?

I am not anti fast pace offenses, I am just pro efficiency. You can have that with either fast pace or slow pace. (Examples: Stanford and Oregon)

If we have a high points per possession and TDs per possession, coupled with low TO's per possession, we are running successfully offense and will be tough to beat. Especially with a defense playing at a high level.

Because it is also hard for the other team to accumulate yards or points if they aren't on the field.

People who get caught up in total yards and total points are missing the forest for the trees

The one thing that DA did yesterday much better than Cam was the play action fake.  Man, he pulled the LB's in every time, giving him the middle for the 15 yd toss to Olsen and KB.  He had em biting all day.  Course he has been in the league a lot longer and had time to perfect it.

One thing to consider is that TB doesn't have a very good LB group. (Outside of David that is) So fooling them was pretty easy. The Lions this week have a more experienced LB group. So fooling them may not be as easy.

That said. If you can run the ball somewhat effectively. Play action works pretty well on almost any LB.

      Just look at OTC. It takes like 30 seconds. Also, ESPN just covered this today. As Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel openly mulls a quarterback change late in Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing season, here's the math on where things stand with Tagovailoa and the Dolphins. He has $54 million in fully guaranteed compensation in 2026. That breaks down as a $39 million salary and a $15 million option bonus that needs to be exercised between the first and third days of the 2026 league year in March. Additionally, on the third day of the 2026 league year, $3 million of his $31 million 2027 salary becomes fully guaranteed. So if he's on Miami's roster as of 4 p.m. ET on March 13, the Dolphins will be on the hook for $57 million guaranteed.   If they were to release him prior to that date, they'd still have to pay him the $54 million in 2026 cash and would absorb $99.2 million in dead salary cap charges. (They could spread that out over two years if they designated him a post-June 1 release, but they'd still take $67.4 million in dead money charges on their 2026 cap and the remaining $31.8 million in 2027.) If they were to find a way to trade Tagovailoa before March 13, the acquiring team would become responsible for the $54 million in 2026 salary and bonuses, and the Dolphins' dead-money charge would drop to $45.2 million. If they traded him after March 13, presumably they'd be on the hook for the $15 million option bonus, while the new team would take the $39 million salary; the Dolphins' dead-money charge would be $60.2 million.   None of this is even close to ideal, obviously, as it would leave Miami in a terrible cap situation and also without a quarterback. The Broncos took $80 million in dead-money charges (spread over two years) when they released Russell Wilson in 2024, and they managed to make the playoffs last season and currently hold the 1-seed in the AFC playoff field for this season. So huge dead-money charges don't necessarily kill a team's chances. But one of the reasons it has worked for Denver is it found a first-round QB in Bo Nix who could play right away.   If the Dolphins bench Tagovailoa this week, it'd be for either Zach Wilson or rookie Quinn Ewers, either of whom could theoretically be a 2026 starting option if they show enough in these remaining three weeks. But moving on from Tagovailoa would probably require the Dolphins to be players in that Mac Jones/Kyler Murray/etc. second-chance QB market if they want to compete next year. Not a great spot for whoever their next general manager turns out to be. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47324378/nfl-week-16-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions#trades
